FIELD NOTE
Reliable by being boring
Static files, clear ownership, narrow permissions, and backups that can actually be restored.
INDEPENDENT DIGITAL WORKSHOP
Small tools.
Carefully maintained.
A quiet home for useful experiments, lightweight services, and notes from running things on the open web.
Explore the workshop
01
Current work
Practical projects with deliberately small footprints.
EXPERIMENT
Local-first utilities
Small browser tools that keep data close and avoid unnecessary accounts.
REFERENCE
Operational checklists
Short, repeatable checks for services that should stay understandable.
02
Working principles
Keep the surface small
Every dependency and public endpoint should earn its place.
Prefer visible systems
Simple logs and explicit configuration beat clever hidden state.
Design for reversal
A safe change includes a tested way back, not just a backup file.
ABOUT
Built for the long run,
not the launch day.
